“This is definitely not a reboot. It’s an entirely new look for a classic movie,” James said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.

“Everyone I grew up with loved ‘House Party.’ To partner with this creative team to bring a new ‘House Party’ a new generation is unbelievable.”

‘Atlanta’ writers Stephen Glover and Jamal Olori will pen the screenplay, according to the report. The movie will mark SpringHill Entertainment’s first feature-length narrative film.

“Listen, it’s fun, it’s an honor when I got the opportunity to produce it, reboot the whole movie, man, I had so much fun as a kid watching that movie,” James said on Tuesday.

“When I was growing up as a youngster I was like, ‘Man, I hope I get an opportunity to throw one of these house parties, where it’s just a lot of fun, a lot of joking around, dancin’, people just having a good time.'”

James also teased a cameo in the film.

“We’re going to have a lot of fun with it,” James said. “I maybe even make a cameo in it, but we’ll see.”
